Entries for Solar Prize Round 2

The V-Clamp creates the first solar industry standard for PV module attachment. It makes PV installation faster, cheaper, and more reliable.

The Resilient Power Router is the first solar inverter to integrate transformers, batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers in a single unit.

Low cost, modular energy solution for backup power and lower energy costs—whether you get your energy from the grid or solar.

The Phase-EQ acts as an automated power router for phase-to-phase balancing on electric grids, and can increase solar capacity by 100%.

Our wafer technology lowers US manufacturing cost below comparable product from China ($0.32 vs $0.44 /M10 standard wafer.)

Interconnection technology that uses Al foil to make modules with back-contacted silicon cells mass manufacturable.

SolPavers are sunlight permeable, high-strength, composite concrete and resin patio and path pavers that produce power & look conventional.

Taka uses bifacial PV tubes to make panels which install twice as fast, track the sun, and open vast new markets.

We’re re-designing the functional front contact of silicon solar cells, using attractive designs that are interchangeable and rotatable.

Eco-friendly Cost-effective dirt/vegetation control, bifacial albedo, replacement concrete, asphalt, dirt road traffic-bearing surfaces.
